Mgk last toured Australia in 2018 and played in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth on his The 27 Tour.

Reviewing mgk’s 2018 show at Perth’s Metro City, The Music’s Joseph Wilson declared, “Rocking pink camo pants and a matching jacket, Baker tore straight into a fiery rap, while firing finger guns.

“It was easy to get caught up in Baker's rockstar antics, whether swilling spirits, lighting a massive blunt (probably tobacco) or smashing a bottle on stage (wasting a good beer), but the true heart of the show lay in the poignant, emotional moments.”
